I am trying to get rid of shadows on all my text that has appeared today. This happens using Firefox,Chrome and Opera browsers. Usually I Google any problems and a solution normally pops up via Ubuntu Forums but no luck this time.
View 9 RepliesI have a laptop running dual boot which I would now like to convert to single boot (Ubuntu only).
I have recently had some very good experiences with VirtualBox (It's fantastic!) and so the idea that I have is to 'migrate' my whole Windows environment from 'dual boot' to VirtualBox.
I know that this can be done with such products as 'Ghost' where you take a snapshot of a whole (Windows) system and then you can recreate this (from DVD).
Here I'd really like to know whether Ubuntu (live CD) offers a similar tool so that I could copy my whole Windows setup, save it to DVD and then simply 're-install' it on a new VirtualBox machine.
That would save me absolutely masses of configuration work!
I made a multi boot USB using Grub 2 and Grub4DOS (with some help of liveusb.info) which works perfectly fine cuz I tested it my self.
Now I want to GHOST an image of this multi boot so when ever I want to ghost it on another thumb drive, I can easily do it. But when ever I make the ghost image and I try to put it on another thumb drive and try to boot from the newly ghosted thumb drive to test it, it will give the error below:
loading.
error: the symbol `grub_puts_` not found
grub rescue>
I tried SO MANY different techniques to find what the problem is. I tried making the multi boot using Ubuntu 9.04, 9.10 and 10.04 (which I think doesn't have anything to do with this but doesn't hurt to try!). I tried reghosting on the same brand and same size thumb drive and lots of other tries but I can't figure this out.
what do you use to make an image of your bootable thumb drive?
I want to know that can we install Ubuntu OS like ghosting in windows.In windows if we install through ghosting then we do not need to install drivers and application software.Is it possible in Ubuntu? if possible then what is the process?
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a utility app that will allow 'ghosting' your current Linux harddrive to another. For example, my current drive is 40Gb, I'd like to ghost/clone it to a 320Gb harddrive. Using an app like this saves re-installing the O/S, software, configuration and allows making a disaster-recovery drive.

View 5 Replies View RelatedI've tried disabling and re-enabling Window Decoration in ccsm, I've made sure "shadow windows" is set to "any". Running compiz --replace doesn't help.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIt took me a while and maybe someone else already know this, but I recently added RGBA to give me more transparency. But when I did this the shadows on the dropdown menus on the panel and in nautilus were not shadowed.
To correct this in Compizconfig Settings Manager: Turn on Window Decoration is you haven't already. Copy/Paste this line in the Shadow Windows info box:
[Code]...
That should be enough to get your drop shadows back on the drop down menu items. worked for me. Even works on the menus in Chromium even if the GTK themes window border is off, but is still won't shadow the window if GTK window borders are turned off.
If I set it to None, my window borders and the buttons on the bottom panel disappear (which also was a problem for me in 10.04). If I set it to Normal, the shadows have incorrect transparency. And I also have a weird issue with Terminal as well, but that's less important [URL]... Before you ask about Compiz, it's pretty much always off. Although the problem did start after I started using it. (no screenshot of the None issue because for some reason it won't let me.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have searched around but did not find anything similar, so I make a new post. I have installed Mac4Lin icons, theme and font, and I am using Emerald (with "emerald --replace" command in the window manager of compiz) and everythin is fine.
Some few times (every 4~5 days), when I start the system, it opens up as the title, like Emerald is not starting or something. If I logoff and then logon again, it is fine. Not that is a serious problem... just annoying in case you want to demonstrate the "power of the system" in an important meeting and it shows up like that.
I'm using a netbook, and I thought I'd connect a monitor I had in the closet and see how things went. I can get a decent multi-desktop setup working, but it comes with an unusual side effect. I don't know if it's of any significance, but these weird shadows appear on all windows, menus and panels. I deativated any Compiz effects I thought might be arcing up, but that didn't seem to do anything.
For what it's worth, I tried this monitor in KDE and it seems to work fine. Netbook Edition promptly soiled itself and went into deep shock with the monitor plugged in, however -- both screens flickering, Docky spasming out of control. But I digress! The netbook is a HP Mini 210 and I believe this monitor is a Mitsubishi Diamond View DV173.
Swapped an hard disk from a laptop to another, now on a 2007 Compaq Presario. When in dual screen, the Z-order of windows and shadows it totally messed up. Focused windows appear BELOW nonfocused ones, and shadows appear all OVER the windows.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI know Metacity has a flag which enables compositing, and draws shadows under windows. Thing is, I prefer shadows because it helps me distinguish stuff on the desktop - a sort of usability an readability feature for me. However, I don't know if my older Thinkpad is too slow to do compositing in X or Metacity code is not optimized enough (yet), but turning compositing on makes my desktop experience too sluggish for my tastes.
I know Windows XP did shadows without compositing big portions of the screen, and it worked fast enough even for the desktop computers of its day. Anyone knows what are my options here? I like GNOME and/or GTK (haven't though much about the important details here) and would like to keep it. Do I need to switch to Openbox or Fluxbox or something like that? I am on Ubuntu 10.04, Thinkpad T43 with Pentium-M 2.0Ghz, 1GB RAM.
I find the window shadows a little phony against a light background. Not a big deal, but just curious if there is a way to change this. Tried through Compiz, but that didn't actually change anything.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI would like to install this game with Wine, but when I open one of the exe files I get a message saying the file is not executable and since it's in a CD I can't change the permissions to make them executable. What should I do in order to be able to play the game?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI'm having an issue with video out put "ghosting" onto other desktops when I switch. Or if there is some video playing, it's on top, and nothing else, like menus or file browsers will be displayed over it. For example, watching something in VLC, the menus flick out, it will still select it if I can figure out where it would be, and it flashes whenever a new menu item is selected. This also happens with open shot, and a couple of other programs, like Frets on Fire. I know the flash player is kinda buggy for firefox/chrome but is there another reason for this?
I have a Toshiba A665 laptop, with Ubuntu Studio 11.4. now I'm noticing that it's starting to do it with programs that don't have video- popup menus are starting to flake.
I have a problem with my office 2003, I am not sure whether its graphics problem or is it a bug in wine. I have the latest version of Wine and I installed Office 2003. Everything works fine, I mean I can open the documents, edit them and do everything. The only problem I am facing is that when I click any thing on the menu and expand the menu, the shadows are created and I am unable to see the expanded menu. I attached the screenshot of how it looks so that you have a rough idea what I meant.

View 4 Replies View RelatedThe new feature in Gimp 2.7 that attaches basic text formatting options (bold, italicunderline, strike-through) to the active text box is either buggy or just bad design.The text edit buttons are actually being placed on top of the text box (which contains text) instead of off to the side, and that is causing me to not be able to see the text.See screenshot for example:GIMP version: 2.7.1Am I doing something wrong or are others experiencing this too?

View 5 Replies View RelatedI put a text file on my desktop and added a couple lines of text with gedit. File type shows text/plain. Double-click opens the file in gedit which is what I want. I'm using the file to temporarily hold some snips of code that I copy from file to file, but when I copy some html into the file and save it, now file properties show it's text/html and a double-click opens the file in firefox, which isn't what I want. Is there some way to keep the file type from changing itself?

View 1 Replies View Relatedi am on processing text tasks And i found that if you assign a text to a variable is chomp'ed automatically the newline
Code:
variable=$(cat file.txt)
The problem is i can only access the items/lines using:
Code:
for line in $variable
do
echo $line
# Other commands
done
how do i convert this to an indexed array. More importantly, how do i get access to individual $line[0], ..., $line[n] Another thing, if the file.txt, has lines with spaces it is a mess using the for...in..., but echoing prints line by line...o_0
Can I use sed to include a text file in the beginning of other text files inside a folder and its subfolders? So it should be recursive.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI un-installed a few files related to Java yesterday (maybe I removed something else by mistake, I don't think so but I'm having trouble reading log files) and now every piece of text, excluding text rendered by the browser from webpages, is displaying as rectangles.

I need to insert 3-4 lines of text to the beginning of a text file. The file is a largish MYSQL dump, the result of a backup shell script. This shell script should insert the required text.I've wrestled with sed, but lost.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have to delete a certain line of text from the a textfile via ubuntu's shell scripting.I have done research, and it seems that most people advocate the usage of sed /d option. sed makes does not edit the text file. Hence, most options I discovered involved the use of a temporary variable/textfile and then overwriting the old file with the temporary new file. Is there anyway whereby I can bypass the use of temporary storage containers? I hope there is any magical combination of commands to edit the file directly.

I want to display the contents of a particular log file (simple text file, I mean in Linux). But there is a problem: The contents need to be organized in a fixed format. Have a look at this log file:
sampleLog.txt
Code:
User Name: XYZ
Reported Problems Description: Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah!
[code]....
So, while displaying the contents of above file on a web page, I want to format the field names found in the log file: User Name:, Reported Problems Description:, and Remarks:. These fields may contain a variable length of text and no specific line number is assumed for them to appear on.
The desired output should look like this:
User Name: XYZ
Reported Problems Description: Blah! Blah! Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah! Blah!Blah!
[code]....
Well, what I am trying to do may sound wierd to some of you. The filed "Reported Problems Description:" can possible contain text which embeds colon (.
